Conditions
Summary
DPN often leads to balance issues, sensory deficits, and chronic pain, which can severely impact daily functioning and independence. INF therapy aims to improve nerve blood flow and alleviate neuropathic symptoms through manual techniques, while the Otago Exercise Program focuses on enhancing strength and balance to reduce fall risk. By comparing these two interventions, this study seeks to identify effective strategies that can improve balance, reduce pain, and enhance the quality of life for individuals suffering from DPN

The intervention will consist of 24 sessions delivered three times per week over eight weeks, with each session lasting 50-60 minutes. Effects will be measured at baseline (before treatment), after the 4th week and after 8th week (post treatment)
Otago exercise training was conducted 3 times a week for a total of 50 min per session, including 5 min of warm-up and 5 min of cool-down. Effects will be measured at baseline, at 4th weeks and at 8th week. The exercises consisted of the following strengthening exercises: knee extensors, knee flexors, hip abductors, ankle plantar flexors, and ankle dorsiflexors. The balance retraining exercises consisted of the following: knee bends, backwards walking, walking and turning around, sideways walking, tandem stance, tandem walk, one leg stand, heel walking, toe walking, heel toe walking backwards, and sit to stand
The exercise intervention will be an 8 week, 3xweek, and 50-60 min class following the 20-30min OEP curriculum with 20-30 min /sessions of intraneural facilitation therapy per week. Effects will be measured at baseline, at 4th weeks and at 8th week
